ABSTRACT
Companies, with the help of industry groups and strong corporate environmental commitments, have parlayed consumer interest in environmental protection into business opportunities. This chapter updates our practices constantly in light of advances in technology and new understandings in health and environmental science. In collaboration with Coalition for Environmentally Responsible Economies, it promotes a dynamic process to ensure that the Principles are interpreted in a way that accommodates changing technologies and environmental realities. The chapter intends to make consistent, measurable progress in implementing these Principles and to apply them to all aspects of our operations throughout the world. The codes cover issues of honesty, integrity, fair practice, conflicts of interest, professionalism, promotion of safety, and protection of human health and the environment. The National Association of Environmental Professionals has developed a Code of Ethics and “Guidance for Practice as an Environmental Professional.”.
